A thing that would be really nice to have (for me at least) would be a
fully functional complete distribution of all the files on the DocBook web
site (including those ISO-characters) which were self-contained, and with
instructions to set the environment variables and then fire up under Jade
or whatever XSL tool was necessary.

Just as that, and tar/zip files to accompany it.  I have so far used the
files on the DocBook CD because I could make those work, but building a
similar tree from scratch has proven to be more cumbersome than I
thought, so I (for one) would very much like to have such a resource.

Best regards,
